Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It's
lonely here, there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over
every living soul
And lie beside me, baby, that's an order

Give
me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
Stuff it up
the hole in your culture
Give me back the Berlin Wall
Give me
Stalin and Saint Paul
I've seen the future, brother, it is murder

Things
are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing,
nothing you can measure any more
The blizzard, the blizzard of the
world
Has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the
soul

When they said repent, repent
I wonder what they meant

You
don't know me from the wind
You never will, you never did
I'm the
little Jew who wrote the bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've
heard their stories, heard them all
But love's the only engine of
survival

Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear,
to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the
wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready
for the future, it is murder

Things are going to slide, slide in
all directions
Won't be nothing, nothing you can measure any more
The
blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold and
it's overturned the order of the soul

When they said repent,
repent
I wonder what they meant

There'll be the breaking of
the ancient Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll
be phantoms, there'll be fires on the road
And a white man dancing
You'll
see a woman hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen
gown
And all the lousy little poets come around
Trying to sound
like Charlie Manson
And the white man dancing

Give me back the
Berlin Wall
Give me Stalin and Saint Paul
Give me Christ or give
me Hiroshima
Destroy another foetus now
We don't like children
anyhow
I've seen the future, baby, it is murder

Things are
going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing, nothing you
can measure any more
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has
crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul
